Man, I love this channel. So happy to see you expanding the topics you cover, you really simplify some of the more complicated aspects of owning a headset.
Best $12 I've spent on VR. Just took the jump on the QGO a couple weeks ago and it really is crazy how much better things look and run. Playing SynthRiders on High resolution and maxed framerate is fantastic. Even newer games like Witchblood (new to Quest 3) look SO much better. I was not super impressed with how some of the games looked before but now they really pop. And having the option to go full out Graphics mode on some games versus maxed framerate on others and any combination of both is awesome.
Great video love you have put the word out there some more for this brilliant app. I bypassed the whole Oculus dev account thing btw and use QGO without issue. The bit with the code from settings where you have to click "about" repeatedly put mine in dev mode without an account or the mobile phone app part. Q3 it's basically the same as mobile phone it turned out once you have access to the android menus! Was also able to install SideQuest in a similar way (I did need to connect to android phone to fully open the sidequest settings)
Yes it easily handles Alyx at max settings 90hz. I get a popup saying my settings are too high for some reason but I can assure you it's wrong. In the oculus desktop app I set mine to 90hz and the resolution all the way up at I think it's 1.7 since I used a quest 2 and it runs fine. Alyx is not that demanding honestly, I played it on a gtx 970 the first time. I think it would probably do 120hz honestly.
The game that QGO does AMAZING on and to me makes it work the $12 100% is PowerWash Simulator. I love the PC version of the game and was excited for the VR version. But when the VR version came out, it was locked at 40fps (and still is) with horrible resolution (probably close to 720p or lower by the looks of it). with QGO, I am able to play it with crisp graphics and 120hz now and it lives up to the desktop version. I just got QGO yesterday, and when I got home from work, I was playing PWS for close to 6 hours straight without realizing it. Some times I wonder if getting the BOBOVR M3 Pro and a few of their new batteries was a good idea that can let me play continuously for an indefinite period of time as I will never run out of battery
QGO is a great app to have, especially for the Quest 3. The extra power of the XR2 Gen 2, the higher resolution displays and pancake lenses allow games to look really sharp and crip; and in my opinion, when it comes to VR, visual clarity is king.
@@Maraksot78 I whole heartedly agree with that. I can see why developers don't do this from the start as the build in battery would be drained super quick. But like my other comment said, with an endless supply of batteries that can give the Quest 3 all the power it wants, I will never run out of battery and will crank everything to 11. Worse case scenario, I only get 1.5 hours on each of my extra batteries. Only takes 1.5 hours to charge the batteries, and I have 3 of them.
...but there is one "small thing" that needs to be said: Yes, it's true, with just a few clicks and settings in the app you can set the graphics for standalone games and applications on the Quest to be absolutely "sharp" and "color-brilliant" just as you had dreamed (and you'll find out how it should be from the factory), BUT... ...if you set it up LIKE THAT, then your Quest will have sucked up ALL the POWER from your additional battery AND the Quest like a vacuum cleaner within half an hour to an hour (!)! And the thing (especially the LCD panels under the lenses!) gets really, really warm! - HOT! So, either you're plugged into the power grid or you're carrying lots and lots of additional batteries! 🥵💯🥵💦🥵💫
Yes, it works on Quest Pro and as far as I know it is capable of adjusting settings on all Quest games. Of course be aware that the CPU/GPU in the Quest are only capable of so much so ypu don't want to push settings too high or else it will negatively effect game performance.
So, "Maraksot78", I have a question on a different VR topic. Have you tested the AMD beta drivers that enable AFMF 2? I was hoping it would work in VR (for FS 2020 in particular), but I don't think it does. If you have and get different results, could you let me know what your settings were? Thx dude!
Yo man i need you help im trying to plug in my headset to my computer but realized when i watched your video my headset had the wrong jack. But luckily it came with the adpater that now gives me 1 for my mic and 1 for sound. But now i cant plug both into my computer because there is only 1 jack. What should i do?
Does the Graphics Boost work for the entire headset or just inside the Games ? ? I know with the Quest 2 I was able to boost the entire headset .... thanks.
Kinda seems to be a 'per-app' basis. Like the home environments and menus can look MUCH better with maxed HD settings, but it brings the framerate down, to me not a huge problem since I only notice it when scrolling in the menus. I don't think it would do anything to the quality of the videos being pushed by something like RUclips or Amazon, though the landing page for Amazon does look much better.
This is just a new different way to install QGO. You can still do it by connecting it to a PC or Android phone which is quite a bit easier IMO, but there's a lot of people out there who do not own a PC and only have iPhone (I'm not sure if you can install it with iPhone or not, I've only seen Android instructions so I'm assuming you can't do it with iPhone) so this provides a way for people to install QGO without needing to connect their headset to any other device.
In order for these changes to take effect, you have to launch your game from within the Quest Games Optimizer. I guess I didn't exactly show that in the video did I...? Anyway, after you select the profile or settings you want in QGO you then launch the game from the QGO library the same as you would from your normal games library and it will apply whatever settings you chose. If you were to go to your normal games library, it would launch your games normally. In order to employ the upgraded settings, you have to launch the game from the QGO launcher. I hope that makes sense.
Hello guys, this is bothering me for months now, can anyone help. I'm into PCVR on Quest 3 via VD/Air link. But there are so many options to play with, that I'm completely lost. Does Meta app resolution change even affect virtual desktop or its only for air link? I set it at 1.4x 90hz. Next questions, hardware accelerated gpu scheduling and optimizations for windowed games, should it be on or off? Game mode, should it be off or on?(Some games are running windowed or borderless and game mode optimize full screen games). Should I mess with amd adrenaline software settings(hypr rx, sharpening, amd boost, anti lag, etc). Now we get settings for vd, which encoding, which runtime, video settings, bitrate settings.. My PC specs: 7800XT, R7 5700x, 64gb 3600mhz. Router Xiaomi AX 9000

@@PrimusInterPares7 - then you need to focus your search parameters. For starters, ditch the AMD GPU & get an nVidia. Look for how-tos focused on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 & your VR headset. Optimized for Flight Simulator = optimized for everything.
Dont use any 3rd party software to get better performance,it just adds extra things to run.turn off game mode it can make some games run worse.make sure no apps are running in background except the vr apps

It really does make a huge difference on Quest 3 doesn't it? It does ok on Quest 2, but it really does take things to the next level on Quest 3.
This is a great Optimiser, I bought it for Quest 2 and was so glad to get it for Quest 3 also.

Super helpful man! Subbed! Way better than the silent one on the itch page itself 👍
Thank you. I appreciate it man.
Man, you didn't say a word about OVR Metrics Tool that helps to choose the ideal resolution and monitor CPU/GPU load.
The battery life:
📉📉📉📉
Wow (what is your actual name?)! That was a lot of steps! If I do ever get this, I now know where to go to get it installed!
Will you test 7900 GRE in future maybe? Just got it and I'm kinda curious if it could handle Alyx at max settings / 90hz 👀
I actually bought a 7900GRE a little while ago along with a 4070 Super and am planning on testing them both here over the next month or two.
Yes it easily handles Alyx at max settings 90hz. I get a popup saying my settings are too high for some reason but I can assure you it's wrong.

I’m plugged in!
This was a game changer playing ghosts of tabor. But since the new update, it runs jittery and takes so long to load into a game.
Now only need my quest 3 to stop fogging 24/7 😅
Look for eyeglass cleaner with anti-fog additive. Used for cycling glasses years ago think it was a 3M product
I got it recently and it's a really nice tool for the Quest 3. It's a bit fiddly, though.
When doing ur vr benchmarks can you add Beamng vr to the benchmark. Plz
Pretty sure you can do all of this for free through sidequest can't you?
Yes you are correct but again you need a pc to do that so he’s showing you how you can do all this within the quest 3 headset
Great review about this app! 👍🤩
I have used it from the early days its fantastic
Hello, does the optimizer work on qwest pro and does it support all games, especially contractors showdown? Ihop answer ?
Yes, it works on Quest Pro and as far as I know it is capable of adjusting settings on all Quest games. Of course be aware that the CPU/GPU in the Quest are only capable of so much so ypu don't want to push settings too high or else it will negatively effect game performance.
appreciate the tutorial
I have tried everything, even your other videos on how to make it not blurry, it did not work. Hopefully this will.

I don't think AFMF works with VR at all. I haven't tried this myself though, if the original AFMF did, then AFMF 2 should as well.
@@GamIngDoge. My testing shows that it does not work in VR. It's a bummer. Would have been nice for Flight Sim 2020.

does this work for rec room on quest 3?
i subscribed because you said subscribeh i cant believe it
thank you man.
You're welcome!

@@Maraksot78 I have a PC and would prefer a simpler install. Link to a good video? Thanks.
is it safe?
We need a can it vr RTX 2060
Are the changes saved after a reboot?
Yes because you start gave through tis app. It had it's own game launcher

@@Maraksot78 It doesn't work like that if QGO is fully configured. It applies profiles no matter how you open game. I made a video about it.
$12 one time payment?
yep, one time payment.
This is what makes VR suck. Developer account? Seriously... Why can't they just say hey let's release our game and try to make it not look like 💩
